Oooh, take a piece of my heart

Oooh, take a piece of my soul

Let me live, oh yeah

Why don't you take another little piece of my heart

Why don't you take it, and break it, and tear it all apart

All I do is give, all you do is take

Baby why don't you give me a brand new start

So let me live (so let me live)

Let me live (leave me alone)

Let me live, oh baby, and make a brand new start

Why don't you take another little piece of my soul

Why don't you shape it, and shake it, 'til you're really in control

All you do is take, and all I do is give

All that I'm asking, is a chance to live

(So let me live) so let me live

(Leave me alone) let me live, let me live

(Why don't you let me make) a brand new start... yeah

And it's a (long hard struggle) yeah

But you can always depend on me

And if you're (ever in trouble) - hey

You know where I will be

Why don't you take another little piece of my life

Why don't you twist it, and turn it, and cut it like a knife

All you do is live, all I do is die

Why can't we just be friends, stop living a lie

So let me live (so let me live)

Let me live (leave me alone)

Please let me live (why don't you live a little)

Oh yeah baby (why don't you give a little love)

Go for it baby let me live, please let me live

Oh yeah baby, let me live

And make a brand new start

Let me live (let me live), oooh yeah (let me live), come on (let me live)

In your heart

(Take another piece, take another piece)

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Please let me live

(Take another piece, take another piece)

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Why don't you take another, take another piece of my piece of my heart

Oh yeah baby

Make a brand new start baby, baby, baby

All you do is take (let me live)

(Oooh, let me live)

Let me live, live, live...
